Slam Dunk: I'm the Glasses Brother

While Xiangbei was analyzing Sannoh, Sannoh was also busy.

"Shohoku, this team is not easy to play against. The team is strong, but the coach is..." Sanno's head coach thought secretly. Goro Domoto, 32 years old this year, was Sanno's point guard in high school. After graduating from college, he directly became Sanno's assistant coach. The previous head coach was fired because of the elimination in the quarterfinals, and Domoto was promoted. Although the head coach of the champion is glorious, the pressure is also great. There is a saying in the high school basketball world: Any team can win the championship with Sanno. Sanno has been smooth sailing on the road to winning the championship in the past few years, and has hardly encountered any setbacks. Domoto came to the player's room

"Now, let's analyze our final opponent, Shohoku High School. Last year, Shohoku High School made it to the national competition for the first time, defeating two A-level teams, Aiwa Gakuin and Toyoma High School. In the quarterfinals, even though the main point guard and captain were suspended, they still fought hard with Hakata Commercial until the very last moment before losing to their opponent." Domoto first briefly introduced Shohoku's record last year.

"Last year, Xiangbei was strong. Besides the captain, the other main players were all sophomores or freshmen. This year, they will be even stronger," added captain Fukatsu.

"Mr. Fukatsu is right. Compared with last year, Shohoku is stronger now. Now let's analyze the players of Shohoku. No. 4, captain Takenori Akagi, is 2 meters tall and is known as the best center in Kanagawa. He has averaged 29.5 minutes per game in the tournament so far, scoring 22.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.3 blocks." The first person who caught the eyes of the Sanno players was Shohoku captain Takenori Akagi.

"20+10 and 3.3 blocks, very impressive numbers," Nobe said.

"That's right. The Ryonan center Yuzhu who played against us today, and the Green Wind center Minggao, are also good centers in the country, but they can't get any advantage in front of Akagi. This shows his strength. Kawata, what do you think?"

"On the offensive end, he is very skilled in the basket. He is proficient in hook shots, back-to-the-basket and face-to-face singles, and he also has a certain mid-range shooting ability. On the defensive end, his defense under the basket is very powerful. Many nationally renowned stars have been blocked by him. He is a center with both offense and defense." Kawata first objectively evaluated his opponent, and then changed the subject. "Akagi Takenori is a traditional center. In terms of strength, I may not have the advantage. But his agility is definitely not as good as mine. Tomorrow I will move him away from the basket to deal with him."

"Well, very good." The disciple's analysis coincided with his own, and Domoto nodded with satisfaction.

"No. 10, Sakuragi Hanamichi, the power forward of Xiangbei. Although this red-headed kid sometimes does some inexplicable things, it is undeniable that he is indeed a very talented guy. Moreover, he is also a major guarantee of Xiangbei's rebounds. So far, he has averaged 9.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. So, in tomorrow's game, Nobe, you have to pay close attention to this kid and don't let him grab too many rebounds!"

When talking about Sakuragi, Domoto made a special analysis for the Sannoh players, and specifically told Nobe to pay close attention to Sakuragi, because this red-headed boy's rebounding is really outstanding.

"Don't worry, I will never let him grab the rebound so easily! He is indeed talented, but today Ryonan's No. 13 also has very good physical fitness, but he was still blocked by us." Nobe is still very confident in his rebounding ability.

"When you two are attacking, you have to pay attention to this kid's defensive ability. This kid's blocking ability is not bad." Domoto reminded the two generals in the interior.

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on him," Kawada and Nobe nodded.

Now that we have talked about Xiangbei's inside players, let's start looking at Xiangbei's outside players.

"The starting lineups for other positions in Xiangbei are relatively fixed, only the small forward will be played by the third-year Hasegawa Kazushi or the second-year Katsume Ichiro. Hasegawa Kazushi is Xiangbei's defensive expert. His defense makes many scorers' efficiency drop sharply, just like Ichinokura in our team. Moreover, he has an advantage that Ichinokura does not have, which is his height. He is 192cm tall, but very flexible. In addition to his excellent defense, he also has a beautiful three-point shot. With his height, it is difficult to block a three-point shot. So we have to implement close defense on him and stick to him all the time. Katsume Ichiro is just the opposite of Hasegawa. His defense is not as good as Hasegawa, but his offense is stronger than Hasegawa. In addition to his outstanding long-range shooting ability, his breakthrough is also quite lethal. So, I decided that Ichinokura will start tomorrow and use your athletic ability to entangle them tightly." Domoto made the deployment

"Leave it to me," Sanno's defensive expert Ichinokura responded

"Shooting guard, No. 6 Mitsui Hisashi. He was the MVP player in Kanagawa Junior High School. His shooting is very beautiful and can be a role model for you. So far, he can make 4.5 three-pointers in each game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 52.6%, ranking first in the conference in three-point shooting percentage and three-point shooting number. He has a good shooting rhythm and can put the basketball into the basket under any circumstances." As Domoto pressed the remote control, the opponent's block on the screen had completely covered Mitsui Hisashi's eyes. However, with his vision blocked, Mitsui Hisashi still raised his hand and sent the basketball in his hand out. After a beautiful arc, the basketball steadily went through the basket.

"Mitsui's shooting is beyond the high school level, but he is not just a pure shooter. He can play from the first position to the fourth position. If the opponent does not have a strong center, he can also play the fifth position."

Captain Fukatsu nodded and said, "If we put aside Zebei from our team, Mitsui Shou should be considered the best forward and guard player in Japan."

"That's right!" Coach Domoto looked at Zebei and said, "I think this kind of opponent should make you give your all, right?"

Zebei said with embarrassment: "I take every game very seriously!"

Everyone laughed! Zebei's lazy performance in games without strong opponents is almost as famous as his strength. "But they also understand how terrible Zebei is when he is serious.

"The last player, No. 5 Kogure Konobu, is the MVP player of this Kanagawa High School League. He is a player who is as strong as Mitsui. He can make 3.3 three-pointers per game and his long-range shooting percentage is 48.8%, ranking third. He averages 8.5 assists per game, ranking second after our captain Fukatsu. He ranks first with 3.9 steals, surpassing Fukatsu. Compared with his offensive ability, his defensive ability is more terrifying. In this competition, the guards who played against him made an average of 5.5 turnovers per game."

"A very scary opponent, feels like Fukatsu," said Matsumoto

"He's good at breaking through, shooting and passing, and can even play in multiple positions. He's amazing..." Fukatsu also sighed. It's obvious that the captain of Sanno is afraid of Murasakibara's strength. He even said his catchphrase wrong.

"Fukatsu, you are our captain, I believe you can restrain Murasakibara."

"Just watch me..."

The Sanwang generals: "He is wrong again"

"We should not only pay attention to Xiangbei's starting players, but also their bench strength is not bad. No. 13 Fukuda Yoshitaka's physical fitness is also excellent. And his off-ball cutting ability is also very strong. No. 11 Kiyota Nobunaga, this kid's physical fitness is also quite explosive, he plays very passionately, and fights at all costs. We should learn from this fighting spirit. No. 12 Mito Yohei, his speed is extremely fast, and his organizational ability is not weak. His strength is not inferior to Miyagi who played against us today. So everyone should be careful of his breakthrough. No. 8 Horita Tokuo, No. 14 Nakajima Ryo, No. 15 Konosuba Hiroaki, although these three people don't have much playing time, we should not be careless about Horita's strength, Nakajima's shooting and Konosuba's outside three-pointers. Do you understand?"

"I understand, coach. Although this is the first time for Xiangbei to enter the finals, in the past two years, Kainan, Hakata Commercial, Aiwa Academy, Touoma High School, Hori, these national powerhouses have all been defeated by Xiangbei. We will never be careless. We will go all out to deal with this opponent from the beginning of the game."

"Very good." Domoto nodded with satisfaction.
